snacks



Recommended Posts

I am wondering what kind of Snacks everyone is eating? I found some trail mixes are pretty good for you and nuts. Along with yogurt and sugar free popsicles. I have also stocked up on string cheese. I would love to add some more things into my life that have some more Protein content in it. Sometimes the same things get old. I bought a few Protein Bars that had lots of protein but tasted horrid

I found a Nature Valley granola that has 10g of Protein for a 1/2 cup. I'll put some in vanilla greek yogurt and have for lunch sometimes. I usually can't finish the whole thing.

Hello AmBeR09, I am 10 months out but still snacking a ruff situation because what I find has also the fat I don't want in it. Some Snacks are considered slider's as well, so watch out, watch that you do not over consume them, sliders have a tendency to fill you up less because they don't fill the space in you stomach with the same volume that you see when you see them in a bowl or on a plate. So, I like chips and found a few and eat another crunchy one, I may revisit with some more info later, unsure. Lovethese: KashiHummus Crisp Sundried Tomato, Basil & Feta, https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/crisps/kashi-hummus-crisp-sundried-tomato-basil-feta , Love this, Roasted Edamame; http://www.nuts.com/search?q=edamame , Cereal, http://www.specialk.com/en_us/products/cold-cereals/protein.html , These are a treat; 90 calorie http://www.fiberone.com/products/brownies/new-90-calorie-lemon-bar , Marzetti® Fat Free Ranch Veggie Dip; http://www.marzetti.com/products/product/2/166/marzetti-fat-free-ranch-veggie-dip ...There's some, hope you like. :)

I do like yogurt but even with all the different flavors it seems like it gets old. I do want to see if anyone sells PB2 in my town to open more options to me too.

I eat the Yoplait 100 cal Greek yogurt, Protein bars & nuts. For the nuts, I may do a trail mix, or sometimes I mix the nuts with some sugars free yogurt covered raisins.

I don't know if you have a Stop and Shop where you live, but I recently found PB2 there.

Not sure where you are, but they sell PB2 at my local grocery store (Kroger). It's in the natural/organic food section.

I realize this might not be for everyone, but one of my go-to Snacks from the beginning has been Louis Kemp imitation crab legs with a small amount of cocktail sauce. 3 legs are only 70 calories and have 6 grams of Protein. My sleeve tolerates them very well. They last a long time in the fridge, and are pretty filling.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
